What a hoot to watch pundits clutching their pearls and whimpering for smelling salts aghast over the latest “shocking” thing Donald Trump said, while The Donald ignores them and continues to soar. Silly kingmakers just don’t know what to make of this. Well, we do!

The elites are shocked by Trump’s dominance, but everyday Americans aren’t. Everywhere I’ve gone this summer, including motorsport events in Detroit full of fed up Joe Six-Pack Americans, the folks I meet commiserate about wussified slates of politicians, but then unsolicited, they whisper their appreciation for Trump because he has the guts to say it like it is.

Specifically, the adviser, Sam Nunberg, called President Barack Obama a “Socialist Marxist Islamo Fascist Nazi Appeaser” and “Farrakahn’s Messiah.” He referred to Al Sharpton’s daughter as “N—!” And so on.

Given Mr. Trump’s own history of controversial and offensive remarks, including about Mexican immigrants, this discovery did not seem altogether surprising.

What was surprising, at least to this Trump campaign observer, was the campaign’s response to this revelation.

Within an hour after being alerted to Nunberg’s Facebook’s posts, a Trump campaign spokesman told Business Insider that Nunberg will be “terminated immediately” once the posts’ authenticity is verified.

The Democrats must be held accountable for their history of perpetuating slavery, racial hatred, bigotry, the founding of the Ku Klux Klan, and their attempt to purchase the Black vote with bribes of federal welfare and handouts!

The political party of The South has been synonymous with the Democrat Party since well before the start of the Civil War. Originally it represented the constitutional position of “states’ rights” – the sovereignty of the states over the authority of the federal government whose power was to be limited, with all other powers reserved to the states.

The rank of the venerable Gunnery Sergeant is now unique to the Marine Corps. In 1775 the basic enlisted ranks of private, corporal and sergeant were used by Marines. Later, at varying times, the more senior ranks of Sergeant Major, First Sergeant, Master Sergeant, etc. were adopted. But the Marine Gunnery Sergeant rank (adopted in 1898) has remained distinctive to the Marine Corps………MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Christians may be the most persecuted group in the world, and their persecution is on the rise. As Islamic extremism takes hold and repressive governments step up their campaigns against Christianity, the Pope has been moved to warn of “a form of genocide”, and for campaigners to speak out over “religio-ethnic cleansing.”

Willard “Mitt” Romney to the rescue! In his latest act as self-appointed guardian of Republican Party decency, the candidate who said whatever nonsense he needed to say in order to win the 2012 Republican nomination is chastising an uncouth member of the current field.

While he has not tweeted about Mike Huckabee’s assertion that President Obama was leading Jews to the “door of the oven,” he has taken Ted Cruz to task for his own marginally less egregious comment:

Windows 10 has been available for a little over 24 hours, and so far the launch appears to be going well.

Already, there are 14 million computers around the world running the new software, according to a post Thursday on Microsoft’s Blogging Windows blog. Microsoft says that, it is “carefully rolling out Windows 10 in phases, delivering Windows 10 first to our Windows Insiders.” That means that while millions have already received the upgrade, there are millions more that are still waiting to receive their upgrades.

If you have requested an upgrade, but haven’t yet received it, Microsoft says, “we will notify you once your PC is ready for Windows 10 and it has been downloaded on your PC. The best way to know your upgrade is ready is to look for this notification in your system tray.”

The top U.S. military officer supported a proposed nuclear deal with Iran on Wednesday, saying it reduced the risk of Tehran developing atomic arms while buying time to work with allies to confront the Islamic Republic over other “malign activities.”

Army General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told a Senate hearing he had advised the White House to keep sanctions on Iran’s ballistic missile program and arms trafficking for “as long as possible.”

The deal between Iran and the United States, China, Russia, Britain and France would lift the ban on ballistic missile technology for eight years and retain an arms embargo for five.

Members of the Senate Armed Services Committee asked Dempsey how he squared his backing for…

Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.) is attributing GOP rival Donald Trump’s rise in the polls to a momentary “loss of sanity.”

“I think this is a temporary sort of loss of sanity, but we’re going to come back to our senses and look for someone serious to lead the country at some point,” Paul said told CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer on his show, when asked about a new national poll showing Trump still atop the crowded GOP field.

Paul pointed to the extensive media coverage of the controversial candidate.

“Television works, Wolf,” said Paul. “If you would give some other candidates time from 8 in the morning to 8 at night, all day long, every day for three weeks, I’m guessing…
